VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

The Department of Transportation’s (VDOT’s) Stormwater Management (SWM) Program is presented in the form of the six minimum control measures required by the Virginia MS-4 General Permit. This program has been developed with a consistent statewide implementation strategy since VDOT maintains regulated MS4s (or components of regulated MS4s) within the public right-of-ways within all thirteen designated urbanized areas of Virginia. While VDOT’s SWM Program is targeted toward those that construct, maintain and utilize its transportation infrastructure and facilities, many of the program’s proposed goals have the potential for a broader appeal.

The VDOT SWM program has and continues to improve environmental compliance, quality and stewardship on VDOT land-disturbing activities through effective management, implementation, and enforcement of sound technical guidelines, criteria, and practices for stormwater management and erosion and sediment control.

This Annual Report identifies the progress towards achieving the measurable goals, as well as any changes and/or additions identified for each BMP. A description of VDOT’s proposed Best Management Practices (BMPs) for each minimum control measure, and the Year 2 goals and accomplishments, is summarized on the following pages:

Accomplishments Within the next year, VDOT will begin the process of formalizing their outfall inventory program that will include a written protocol to inform VDOT personnel on appropriate inventory procedures. Discussions with other MS4 permits holders lead VDOT to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) which had completed an outfall inventory for Stafford County. The USACE can provide this assistance to VDOT in accordance with Section 22 of the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 1974 (Public Law 93-251), as amended, which authorizes the Secretary of the Army, acting through the Chief of Engineers, to assist the States in the preparation of comprehensive plans for the development, utilization and conservation of water and related resources of drainage basins, watersheds and ecosystems located within the boundaries of such State.

A Letter of Agreement was negotiated with the Baltimore District USECE to complete the following tasks in the watershed: 1. Collection of existing information and field survey preparation 2. Field survey and assessment of outfalls 3. Development of outfall database and GIS layers 4. Documentation of procedures 5. Finial Report

The completion of the outfall inventory/assessment for the Census Urban Areas (Washington, Winchester and Harrisonburg) in the Potomac River watershed will be completed in phases. The USACE field survey will be completed at the targets identified by the VDOT MS4 Target Model. A Letter of Agreement was also negotiated with the Wilmington District USECE to complete the same tasks in the Roanoke River watershed (Roanoke, Danville and Blacksburg Census Urban Areas).

The function of the MS4 Target Model is to predict the most likely location of VDOT stormwater conveyances discharging into Waters of the US. The MS4 Target Model utilizes the most up-to-date hydrographic data and VDOT road centerline data, to identify locations were roadways maintained by VDOT are within a specified proximity to streams, water bodies or wetlands.

The model was refined and run for a second time in November 2009 before the target layer was supplied to the USACE. The modifications included:

1. Census Urban Area Boundary Modification: The Census Urban Area boundary as modified to include all features (roads, intersections, subdivisions, etc.) that were fractured by the Census Urban Area boundary. This change in the Census Urban Area was made to make field collection boundaries more understandable. For example the Roanoke Census Urban boundary bisected interstate 81 and its intersections in many locations. The boundary was modified to move the Census Urban Boundary west of the interstate and its intersections for the complete length of the Census Urban Area. 2. Target Review: Completion of a review of all targets to eliminate targets that are on routes that are not maintained by VDOT. The VDOT Roadway Network, GIS Feature Class used in the 10 model currently does not supply sufficient data to determine if certain routes, such as business route of US highways located in cities, are maintained by the cities or VDOT. A review of the maintenance status of any questioned route in HTRIS was completed and selected targets were marked for elimination when it was verified that maintenance is not supplied by VDOT. 3. Inclusion of the most current VDOT data. 4. Grouping of targets within a specified proximity of each other into Clusters. For example the five or six targets generated on the various road segments that make up an intersection at a stream crossing would be grouped into one cluster.

The results of the November 2009 run of the MS4 Target Model are shown in the following table:

Targets Targets CUA Net Targets* Clusters June 2009 Nov 2009 Blacksburg, VA 100 121 79 39 142 Bristol, TN--Bristol, VA 118 117 74
